A Robust Visual Inertial Odometry SLAM Considering Robot Self Dynamics

CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, Volume 11, Issue 3, Page 784-797, June 2026.
ABSTRACT In this paper, to deal with the dynamic SLAM problem, we investigate feature tracking and IMU preintegration in visual‐inertial odometry (VIO) and design a robust SLAM framework that explicitly considers robot self‐dynamics. We propose a self‐dynamics and IMU‐aided feature tracker to predict initial optical flow and an iterative refinement ...

CONCERT: A Modular Reconfigurable Robot for Construction

Journal of Field Robotics, Volume 43, Issue 3, Page 1332-1362, May 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper presents CONCERT, a fully reconfigurable modular collaborative robot (cobot) for multiple on‐site operations in a construction site. CONCERT has been designed to support human activities in construction sites by leveraging two main characteristics: high‐power density motors and modularity. In this way, the robot is able to perform a
